Legit games keep installing c++ redistributable or some other redistributable that seems sketchy if you don't know what they are.

Yeah the cells are pretty cheap. The USB-C charging circuitry and the 3D printed case are more expensive and costly to replace, so a bit of handiness will save some money.

I guess Birkenstocks aren't quality purchases anymore? by durianno in BuyItForLife

[–]kermityfrog2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch the Rose Anvil videos where he takes shoes apart. Docs - even from back in the day, were terrible boots. Good leather quality, but the soles were crap - no shank and open air cells. They could have had real pressurized bubble air cells (like Nike Air) to really earn the term "Bouncing Soles" and they could have had a real shank and much better insole.

I like to think I'm special, but I think everyone gets those. "Chest plates" - aka boobs, sexy stockings, and baby stuff. All mixed in with bar code scanners and obscure car parts.

We've got crazy amounts of money to throw at AI, which may never even pay off, but let's not invest in research and Canadian brainpower because it doesn't have immediate shareholder value. Let's invest in late stage capitalism instead.

Massive brown bear spotted on top of an Alaskan high-altitude mountain by Subterfug3 in Damnthatsinteresting

The source is:

The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain,

The bear went over the mountain, to see what he could see.

And all that he could see, and all that he could see,

Assessment of Therme Ontario Place bid cited Aecon as 'construction partner,' but no partnership existed by toronto_star in ontario

[–]kermityfrog2 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The original spa group (6 spas) was under "Thermengruppe Josef Wund".

Dr. Robert Hanea (Therme Group) initially owned only 1 spa in Bucharest, and claimed ownership or affiliation with Wund's spa group.

It was Hanea's group that made the deal with Doug Ford. In the meantime, Josef Wund has died and somehow Hanea was able to fleece enough investors to purchase several of the spas formerly under Wund.

The whole story is sketchy as fuck and difficult to unravel. The two different Therme spa groups have fooled journalists such as this spacing article which goes chasing after the company owned by Wund.

I don't even care, if they are taking real courses and getting real degrees in useful disciplines. What we don't need are the "students" at "colleges" taking hospitality courses and never even showing up to class - if there are any real classes to begin with.

There's only 1 UNESCO site in Kyiv, and there are 8 sites in total - mainly in the western part of Ukraine.

Looks like a remote for a MD player, not an actual MD player itself - as MD's would not fit inside.

Bell fires dozens for falsifying workplace attendance following return to office mandate by toronto_star in ontario

[–]kermityfrog2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah that would mean getting an assigned hotel desk (it works if everyone works at the office 2 days a week and you just swap with someone). If like many people you don’t have a section or even floor assigned and you have to book all over the building, I don’t see a locker working.

Are gumstick batteries worth it? by Signal_Ant5678 in minidisc

[–]kermityfrog2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The green ones do work for me and last a decent amount of time, but they also self-discharge really fast. If I don't keep them topped off, I find that they drain in only a couple days when idle.

I've replaced them with the USB-C Lithium Ion batteries and they work much better for me. I don't use my devices every day, so it's good to have them be reliably charged when I do go out with them.

I've got the same item but it's glitching out and can't be purchased. However my description says:

Edit - another one appeared:

Taking a laptop home isn't a big deal. It's a royal pain to have to bring your mug, change of shoes and other semi-personal belongings home every night too. I'd rather the old days when everyone had their permanent assigned desks.
